Physics@FOM 2015, Alan Guth - Inflationary Cosmology: Is Our Universe Part of a Multiverse?
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
Alan Guth's lecture starts at 13.20 Inflationary Cosmology: Is Our Universe Part of a Multiverse? Inflationary cosmology gives a very plausible explanation for many features of our universe, including its uniformity, its mass density, and the patterns of the ripples that are observed in the cosmic microwave background. Most versions of inflation, however, imply that our universe is not unique, but is part of a possibly infinite multiverse. Guth talks about how inflation works, and why he believes that the possibility of a multiverse should be taken seriously. About the conference: Physics@FOM Veldhoven is a large congress that provides a topical overview of physics in the Netherlands. It is organised by the Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM) and takes place each year in January. Traditionally, young researchers are given the chance to present themselves and their work alongside renowned names from the Dutch and international physics community. The programme covers Light and matter, Atomic, molecular and optical physics, Nanoscience and nanotechnology, Statistical physics and Soft condensed matter, Surfaces and interfaces, Physics of fluids, Subatomic physics, Plasma and fusion physics, and Strongly correlated systems. http://www.fom.nl/veldhoven

Fact; Proof of parallel universes is still beyond the domain of science.

"Inflation isn't falsifiable it's been falsified... BICEP did a wonderful service by bringing all the inflationists out of their she'll and giving them the black eye. .." - Roger Penrose

what a brilliant mind :)

Buckle that field and the energy under the curve grows.

I wonder is it synchronicity that his last name is so close to Goof? lol his theories are dead, No big bang just mention NGC 4319 to one of these guys and watch em go nuts. If you don't know about NGC4319 research Halton Arp. See what they did to him for discounting their precious big bang. Allan Goof.

Comic sans lol

I cannot help but comment on the plethora of idiots who have posted abysmally ignorant comments on this lecture - or other lectures of equal substance that I have viewed on YT. Please give the likes of Alan Guth, Andrei Linde, Lawrence Kraus, Steven Weinberg, Leonard Susskind, Paul Dirac, Robert Dicke, Jim Peebles, George Gamow et al, a semblance of intellectual approbation in what they have contributed to cosmology, and the nature of the Universe. These few, these happy few, this band of brothers - among many untold others - are the Gods of Mount Olympus. Zeus be praised!

count the number of Assumptions in these presentations :)

jesus f christ. 13 minutes of intro? EDIT people EDIT!

Awesome to realize we live in the time of Weinberg, Guth, Krauss and all the rest. The best of times....
-
This is not physics, it is philosophy masquerading as physics. As to the statement that astronomers know how galaxies where formed, that statement is false.
-
what a load. lol, I invented the free energy machines of your future. I discovered the observable observation proves the free energy existance, time to grow up boys and girls, readem and weep, buy a free energy / overunity machine and discover how it works. I double dare you all
-
Wow. Guth really has lost it. the idea of inflation works but repulsive gravity - really? Desperately clutching at straws - all I could hear was a bunch of mumbo-jumbo and if, if, if.....
Gravity is an eternal constant. Einstein's equations work best in their unadulterated forms. -
¿Cómo no te vas a dormir con el pesado de Alex Vilenko si estas desbordado de trabajo? Tu despacho parece un juzgado Español. Parece ser que según el había algo antes del Big Bang: la antigravedad. Tengo un libro suyo sobre la teoría de múltiples Universos.

i like to imagine that GOD is playing with these scientists much like a cat would play with a mouse.

16:20 o if matter -hot dense soup of particles .. filled all space uniformily .....where is IT than expanding and cooling in to ? (another all space?) .......and why after 14 bln years of expansion=runaway from primal soup <long period after inflation>.....we register background radiation from furthests places of void we "travel" < - moving as cosmos grows (not only from much narrow area of primal density -before cooling and growth)

Dear Stichting FOM =)
I would like to say, thank you, for taking the time and effort to both upload and share this video with the youtube family! =)
I hope you have a nice day, Stichting FOM! =)
Kind Regards

Of course it was. When was the last time you needed something and you waited for that to evolve?
-
Was BIG BANG an intelligent act????

Sucks that BICEP2 just found dust instead of gravitational waves...
